Magnolia Tilda Love is in the Air Valentine Card



Hello sweet readers,

It's almost time for Valentine's Day! I thought I'd make a cute Peek-A-Boo card to celebrate the holiday. It has a lot of detailed elements that took a lot of precision and time. My photos stink, though. I don't know what the secret is to taking good photos!

For this card, I chose to use a new Tilda from the You are Invited Collection. It is named, "Tilda Throws Away Hearts." I thought the design would be perfect to showcase our little cutie pie! Here it is:



For the front of the card, I chose to make a pocket that is edged in white glittered card stock. I also created a tag design using the components from the typewrite die set (which I forgot to arrange before taking the shot). The alphas have been cut from my alpha dies. The heart frame, around Tilda is also glittered card stock. Of course, there is an array of flowers.

Here is a look at the interior panels:


Again, I use some of my alpha dies for the sentiment. Tilda has some cute, sparkly, pink triangular rhinestones around her to enhance the hearts being thrown into the air. I used Wink of Stella to the stamped hearts to add some subtle sparkle. Tilda has been watercolored.

I thought it would be a nice card for a guy, so I kept away from ribbons and lace.

Magnolia Get Well Tilda Valentine Love Note Card



Hello sweet readers,

I just cannot believe it is mid January! It has been so warm here that I dread the thought of what the upcoming summer might be like! Our temps are Spring temperatures and we've had almost no rain. The mountains are usually snowcapped and have nothing on them. The two times the mountains did get snow, it was gone the next day because it is so warm. Ugh! We get dry and warm while the east coast of our country has been buried in frigid temperatures and feet of snow!

I couldn't sleep the other night, again, and made this little card between midnight and 4:30 AM, LOL. It doesn't have frills, but it is pretty cute. I chose the new Get Well Tilda and the accompanying EKG line die. The mat die is also Magnolia, but I don't know its name. Here she is:





The inside has only the lower panel done. It features a really cute bow with red and white checked ribbon on which the manufacturer has printed, "I Love You" on it in black. Too cute!

Magnolia Band-Aid Tilda Sends Hugs


Hello and welcome back, Sweet Readers,

Well, how is the New Year going for you? Ours is going well so far. I've been busy taking care of DH and all the daily routines. Tomorrow I go to the doctor to see why my heart is going crazy. I think it's stress. I hope it is stress. I've been busy testing recipes. I've made a delicious Asiago Bisque, Dill Pickle Soup, Dill Pickle and Cheddar bread, a wonderful baked fruit dessert with apples, cranberries, pineapple, and pears seasoned with cinnamon and nutmeg, maple syrup, and brown sugar. It was soooooo good! The house smelled wonderfully.

I got some time here and there to work on a card. I used Band Aid Tilda and forced myself to use my least favorite color, purple. I also used a "no lines" technique for the first time. Thank you, Jane, for helping me get the courage to give it a go. Thank you, also, Diana Crick, for the die! I love it!

Here is a photo of my card:



Tilda has been hand painted with DIs. I found some flower sequins which matched in color and added some sparkle. I used a pearl for each center. I used the stethoscope and band aid dies from the Get Well Collection. Inside is the pill bottle die filled with little heart-shaped "meds!" LOL Lots of different dies and imported flowers. The papers are Sofiero.
